Lincoln Woods was its usual tedious self; much easier to take first thing in the morning.
Bondcliff Trail had patches of mud, running water, etc. and blowdowns. I could see in a few places were someone could be tricked into following a herd path or drainage. Hillary Stumble was dry, as was the ridge. Some mud in places between the peaks.
Lots of slick rock on the Twinway between Guyot and Zealand, as well as below Zeacliff. Also some deep mud/flooded trail/floating bog bridges in places.
Zealand Trail was a little slick/muddy in the rocky area.
Early start allowed for climbing in the cooler temperatures. Occasional breeze made for nice walking in places. Still some flowers in bloom. Very crowded trails.
